I haven't read anything definitive lately about the rally which has taken place in recent years in Wales so I don't know whether there will be an event this year or not.
Now, I have no idea about the number of people attracted previously to the event or whether there is much interest from the wider community but I question the venue if the idea is to showcase ebikes with a view to attracting more buyers.
From previous experience of organising other things, I realise that putting together any kind of occasion is not without difficulty. Because of that, I'm always appreciative of anyone who accepts the challenge and makes it happen.
If it is to happen this year and/or in future years, would it not make more sense to have the event somewhere more accessible? The capital city is of course hugely accessible from just about anywhere in the British Isles and I would love it to be the choice of venue. There are other places in the middle of the mainland with good transport connections from most parts of the UK and I could happily accept any one of those more centrally located places. I can get to just about anywhere in the country without difficulty but I feel the ebike community, particularly the retail side of the business, would benefit from the publicity obtainable at a bigger venue somewhere more people actually go.
Unless the industry strives to reach a wider audience, ebike sales are unlikely to escalate, in my opinion. I know there's a cost involved but don't they say, "You've got to speculate to accumulate!"? More footfall at an event = more potential buyers.
